It's that time of the year again for the Quick Check 35th Festival of Ballooning. This is an amazing event. You will see balloons you would never see or have though of.

Get your camera ready and enjoy the sights. You will not be disappointed.

Are you looking to sell? However, you look around and have no idea how to make your home stand out. Here are three great tips you might want to try:

1. Declutter the home. Get a storage unit and throw it all in there. Put things that you won't need for awhile. Don't throw it all in your closet, buyers do look there.2. Paint the front door so it looks fresh and clean. Also, paint the inside with a nice neutral color.If buyers are looking at older homes, usually they have not been painted. They will remember your home. 3. Make some small changes by improving the lighting, changing the hardware in the kitchen and all the light switch and plug covers.

By making these small changes it will help your home stand out more then the others. Good luck!

Local swim clubs tend to offer a one size fits all group experience that may work for some but not all. We have tried them and perhaps you have too. A noisy, gymnastic-sized pool, a hundred parents in the stands and about 40 students spread out in the lanes according to their skills. They meet once a week for 30 minutes and hope to remember what they have learned the following week. The child gets a collective 5 minutes of attention per class to actually practice and then they are tested only to learn they need that same class 2 to 3 more times. Sound familiar?

This summer, after that experience, we decided to sign up for a session of swim lessons offered at the Milltown Borough Pool. My three children were greeted by an instructor and a helper. I thought surely we are early or perhaps running late but no other children ever came. While each child received individual instruction with the instructor, the helper managed a ring toss game for the waiting children. This kept them engaged and entertained while they waited for their turn. They offered 10 classes split up in a 2 week session. They were in the pool every morning practicing and gaining confidence in the water. After 4 lessons, my eldest was promoted to Advanced Beginners where she began mastering back stroke, diving and freestyle swimming. She went from a no swimmer to advanced swimmer in 10 lessons!

The instructors are so kind, patient and lots of fun. My kids loved them and were sad when classes concluded. They even gave them donuts to congratulate them for finishing the course which is a big deal for kids! Next summer if you have a young swimmer and some free time, bring them to the Milltown Borough Pool for lessons!
